<pre class="k9mail">Hi there,<br /><br />there's one thing I've been wondering about for quite a while:<br /><br />I use unison (<a href="https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison">https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison</a>/ -- great <br />tool!) for syncing my photo collection (including digikam4.db) between <br />desktop and laptop computer. I take great care not to add or edit photos <br />on both computers simultaneously, so every syncing process is actually a <br />clean copy operation from one machine to the other. Yet, when, after <br />syncinc, I launch digikam on the target machine, it apparently does a <br />full scan of all items in the collection, which takes ages, even if only <br />a few photos have actually been added or changed. However, when <br />re-launching digiakm on the same machine without immediately preceeding <br />sync, the new items scan takes only a few seconds.<br /><br />So how does digikam decide which folders and images are to be <br />re-scanned? How can digikam possibly 'know' that there has been going on <br />something else than just local file changes?<br /><br />The only idea I came up with is that digikam might somehow detects the <br />changes in its database file's meta data (like file size, access time, <br />md5 hash value...) with respect to its last run on the same machine <br />which were introduced during syncing.<br /><br />Any comments appreciated!<br /><br />Cheers --<br /><br />-- Torsten<br /><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
